1932 S. Duke-Elder Text-bk. Ophthalmol. I. xxv. 986 The fact that picking skeins of wool does not appeal to the average workman, while the reading of pseudochromatic diagrams requires a considerable amount of intelligence, has popularized the adoption of lantern tests wherein coloured glasses are illuminated and the testee is asked to name the colour and (sometimes) to match it with wools or some other coloured material.

1947 Sci. News 4 19 The main difficulty with such tests was that the tester was usually as intoxicated as the testee, and often forgot to press the spindle of his stopwatch, or to take proper notes.

1952 C. P. Blacker Eugenics: Galton & After 190 These gaps..make it all the more surprising that so little account was taken of the testee's subsequent services and achievements.

1964 M. Critchley Developmental Dyslexia vii. 50 The testee is required to detect which of the simple figures lies concealed or incorporated within the complex design.

1976 K. S. Bowers Hypnosis for Seriously Curious iii. 43 Even on the subset of questions for which the testee subjectively feels he is simply guessing, the likelihood is high that he will get more than 25% correct answers.

1983 Daily Tel. 22 Sept. 18 Gascoigne..said of his testees [on a quiz programme]: ‘They were far more argumentative in the 60s and 70s.’
